This week at the round table of dim lighting, man, we hate to see you guys fight. We hate to know that you're experiencing conflict, that you're in arguments with one another. Those arguments might be life altering or ridiculous in nature, doesn't matter to us. All that matters to us is that it's resolved. And that's what we pride ourselves on.

Being able to do that. Is the ability to resolve conflict, to save relationships, save marriages by giving you the official. I would say restore relationships. Yeah, and that the official answers to these questions. Yeah. There is an objective truth.

And we have it. And we have it. We have it. We have it. For every single one of these questions. Actually, we have not discussed these beforehand. We may disagree, but one of us will win the argument. And if it comes to blows, then so be it.

Huh. The prompt we put out there, follow us on Twitter, talk to us using hashtag your biscuits. You can be shouted out on the show. Your dirty laundry can be aired in front of everyone. And to prove that, hey, we're all the same. I don't know, to try to put a positive spin on that so people don't get scared that we're gonna make fun of them.

Got an argument, conflict or disagreement you can't resolve? Let us know and we'll handle it on an upcoming Ear Biscuits. That was the post and now this is the show. Full circle. Wow. It's happening. It's like magic. Before we get into this,

there's another thing that Ear Biscuits did the hubbub besides- The hubbub. Hubbub, besides- Ear Biscuits is the hubbub. Resolving conflicts, and that is any news related to the window in my shower has to funnel through Ear Biscuits.

It might then go off into, I don't know, a vlog that we make when we were making those. Remember that? That was great. That was a fun one. You making the window bigger? I have an update on the window. Boy, I'm thinking about it.

Yeah, as you probably know, the window is in my shower and it's only, you know, it's from the collarbone to the top of the head. Okay? Yeah. So it leaves a little bit to be desired. Thank you. That's a nice compliment. It's one of those things that when you sell your house

and somebody comes into it, people are gonna have questions about the window and the shower. The first reaction is gonna be negative, but then when they buy my house and every experience they have with that window is going to be positive. I have another positive point because like I said,

I pushed for this window to be installed. Christy was scratching her head, the contractor was scratching his head. Everybody was scratching all types of stuff, except for me, I was scratching the itch that was the desire to have a view while taking a shower. And it goes beyond, yeah, okay, yes, there was a problem with my neighbor scene.

I think I've given a little bit of an update there. I have video to go along with this. So I'm gonna have my phone ready to pull out. Okay. Let's see, where do I start? Of course, my bathroom is on the second floor. And then, and our master bedroom is on the second floor. Not everything else is on the first floor.

And when I'm looking out the window, I'm kind of looking over my roof into the distance. I was in Lily's room, so I was downstairs. I was talking to her and she's got, her room was like, she only had this one window and then because of the bushes beside the window, it was always so dark in there. I was like, you need a sunroof.

You need a skylight, they call it. So actually as part of this construction with the remodel of the house, we also put a skylight in her room. Oh, I didn't know that. Yeah, it's a little square, however big that is, I don't know, two by two, it's a small one. 18 by 18 maybe.

18 by 18 maybe. And I look up there and I'm like, man, your skylight is dirty. She's like, I never really look at it. I was like, well, it's dirty. How much sunlight gets in? Because putting a skylight in a bedroom means that now the sun comes into her bedroom

when the sun comes up, which is not a teen thing. It has a shade on it. I got, I'm like, you know what, I'm gonna optimize this. I'm gonna get one with a shade, with a remote. So yeah, she has her own little shade and the skylights in our living room, I also put shades on those because when it gets real hot, it gets real hot

and you don't want it to get too hot so you close those shades in that big part of the room. She didn't seem to be too fazed by it but it just stuck in my head. I'm like, my role is to keep the skylights clean. I've squeegeed all of the skylights before. From the outside? I gotta get a ladder, I gotta get my window squeegee,

I gotta like make my suds, I've gotta bring another thing of water that doesn't have suds to rinse it off because I can't get the hose all the way up there. It's a problem. So when I realized, man, you're due for a cleaning, I just kind of logged it away. I'm like, you know, maybe six weeks from now,

I'll get up there and I'll squeegee the skylights again and I'll enjoy it. But then, lo and behold, the next day, I'm in my shower, showering, and I just found myself thinking about the skylight. Now, if I not look out my window, I cannot see Lily's skylight. Right.

But if I open my window and look down, I could see it. If I really tried, but you have to really try to see it. So I just wanna preface it with, if I'm in my shower, I can't look down into my like daughter's bedroom. That would just be weird, strange. Well, it's also probably a translucent. It's clear. You can see, you could see in it.

But the angles are such that you can't. But I didn't think, hold on, I've got a shower head here that comes, it's got this, I've got the shower head above like the rain shower head, but then I got the one that I can take off the wall and like the wand, I can shower up different places and under different places and rinse.

My rinse game is just tip top, man. There should be laws against people like you. You should see me rinsing myself. I should get a video of that. But it occurred to me, I can spray, I can wash Lily's Skylight while I'm in the shower. This is, first of all, let me just say doubtful. I doubt that you're gonna get the pressure

that is required to pull this off, but you're also gonna freak your daughter out, so. I'm also gonna show you a video because I knew that's what you were gonna say. Here we go. All right, you know what time it is? It's time for a shower update. Look at that.

Still there. And there's always something new to discover. Hold on, are you naked in this? Out this window. Because there was a reflection on that as you walked. I'm shirtless. Fence. So it's harder to see me.

Yeah, so the neighbor built a fence. That's the update there. Of course, what I discovered was right down there is a sunroof. Sunroof, I call it. A sunroof. I discovered sunroof. It gets dirty.

Isn't this exciting? Not really, but did you, did you, is Lily home at this point? I think she was sleeping, yeah. Put this thing on. I could wash my whole roof, see? I can't quite reach. Well not really. I mean you gotta get the, yeah.

Change it. Not enough pressure. Change it please. Oh yeah, blast. It's still not gonna do anything. Yes, yes, yes, yes. I can clean the sunroof. Ah! Brilliant! Brilliant!

From my shower. I'm cleaning the sunroof from my shower. Did this wake her up? Uh, yeah, she had to think. Oh, it's raining. She thought I... she was like, wake up, Lily, it's raining. Did it work? Did it clean it?

Pretty great. Yeah, pretty great. Yeah, pretty great. It did work. It cleaned it, man. That's just a testament of how often it doesn't rain in California. That's right. A little bit of shower,

low pressure shower water is gonna clean the- Yet another reason that that window in the shower is perfect. I went to work before Lily got up, and when I got home, she was like, "'Dad, were you on the roof washing my skylight this morning? And I was like, no, I was in my shower.

I washed your sunroof from my shower. How did that make her feel? Not surprised. Yeah. I think was pretty much it. You know, it's just kind of like, okay. Is she the only one who got a skylight? She's the only one that needed it. Okay.

And she doesn't have a window in her shower either. She's not asking for one, don't know what's up, but I just feel like it's my duty to keep you filled in on the continual enjoyment that I'm having in my shower. I thought that you're, I was hoping, well, and I like to believe that the neighbor did see this happen. I like to think that the neighbor has a blog,

like a blog spot, and it's called My Neighbor. Mystrangenighbor.blogspot.com. And they both contribute to it, the husband and the wife contribute to it. Yeah. And it hasn't been updated many times. This is like at most every six months,

which is a typical Blogspot cadence. And the latest entry is like, you won't believe what came out of that window this time. How would you explain it? Because they probably can't see the skylight. So they just like see this man, they just see him like squirting his roof, like changing the pressure.

And they're like, what is this fool doing? I'm so glad we put that fence up. It was so much easier to wash. I mean, I would like to have been able to squeegee it. So I think what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna get a really long extendable pole with a squeegee on it. But what- And I'm gonna keep that in the shower. But you have all

the other skylights too. Yeah. That are getting dirty at the same rate, you know, presumably. You're right, I didn't wanna bring that up, but yeah. You don't sponge it? Well, I would think you would take like one of those mitts that you like wash a car with.

And have you done one of these? Have you done, I would think you'd be, I know you're into cleaning things. I got a special squeegee. And on one side, it's got like the scrubber, it has a long sponge across it. Yeah, and you scrub it with that and then you flip it over and you squeegee it.

Yeah, cause it's sort of a wash and dry in one. Yeah, you know, just like the people here in town who wash your windshield at a red light. That doesn't happen anymore. Without you asking, but yeah, that hasn't happened in a long time. No. Huh, all right. so that's my update.

Is it less gross to borrow your significant other's toothbrush than to borrow a friend's toothbrush? I say yes. My boyfriend says no, they're equally gross.

Your boyfriend is wrong. This is not a difficult one by any means. I mean, is it- They're not equally gross, but they are both very gross. They're both gross. If I had to choose one person to brush my teeth with their toothbrush,

I would choose my wife. Right, well, and that, I think the answer is simple because you're regularly, assuming that you have a healthy marriage, regularly swapping spit with your wife. You know, so you basically have, I would think there is a culture of bacteria that has actually been influenced both ways.

Oh. In your mouth and your partner's mouth, because that's what happens when you just constantly, I mean like my wife and I are just constantly making out. Like French kissing? Constantly French kissing right when we wake up, right before I leave, first thing when I get home, right before we go to bed.

I mean. And it doesn't always lead to sex. I mean sometimes it's just French kissing. Let's be real for a second. Let's be real for a second, right? It's like, I mean, it it's just French kids. Let's be real for a second. Let's be real for a second, right? It's like, I mean, it's not really detached from foreplay in my home. There's not a lot of just make out sessions

and when you've been married 20 years, yes. The make out sessions usually lead to completion, a complete male sorting session. Right. But I say that- Usually, I would say for me, I would say almost exclusively at this point. What if you get into an argument though?

Sometimes that'll put a stop to things. Oh, oh. So then it just counts as a make out session. Only if something else, some external factor gets in the way. But you know what we're saying. You kiss your partner and therefore your mouth is touching their mouth directly on a regular basis.

And so their toothbrush is- What do you think about scheduled, let's talk about just French kissing for a while. Let's not get right into toothbrush. Scheduled French kissing? Yeah, what do you think about that? It's kind of like, you know- I don't like scheduling anything.

But then you schedule things when they'll never happen otherwise. Well, I mean, it happens. But it happens and then it stops. Like we're just having a make out session. Don't say we, just talk about you and your wife. We, I'm referring to me and my wife. You and Christy are having a make out session, okay?

And that's it. I think that's gonna require some planning. You know, like some expectation management. I think it does happen. I think I need to be biologically ready for that. I think it does happen, but I think I do. I think that would be fun. I do usually interpret it or let's just be honest,

I like to believe that it is contributing to foreplay. Even if it's like 4pm and I know that the mail sorting is not gonna happen anytime soon, if it's making out happening, what I'm thinking is, well, here we go. Are you telling- This is a deposit in the bank. Now, I'm bringing zero judgment into this.

This is all curiosity. Because for me, this never happens. Are you saying that like you and Jessie might pass each other in the house and then you'll just start making out? Has that ever really happened? Yes. There's no way, right? Yes.

What? Really? Yeah, I mean. Like French kissing. Well, if you're gonna kiss, do it like the French. Christy and I will hug and we will kiss each other on the mouth. I'm not saying it's like a normal thing. But we're not gonna go into like a make out session.

Well, okay, when you say session, how long is a session? I'm saying that like there might be like a- Forget session, tongue, tongue. The tongue will breach, yeah. No, I mean like, okay, be more specific. My tongue will go into her mouth and her tongue will go into my mouth. Do you want me to draw you a diagram?

No, I'm cool with what you've told me. I'm not saying that this is- How often does that happen? Not often at all, but I'm saying, you're just saying, you just said it never happens. No, it happens. It has happened. It doesn't, it doesn't, it never. It has happened. It never happens to us unless, and I'm not saying it's automatically foreplay,

but you have to be in, it only happens to us in a zone. I think that's true, yeah, okay. Listen, I don't wanna paint an incorrect picture here that this is like- I don't wanna walk in your kitchen. Every time you turn around, I'm making out with my wife. And I'm sure that there are some couples where that happens.

I'll be honest that I think I kind of represent, a little bit of a stereotypical husband situation, which is like, if that's happening, I'm kind of thinking about it in reference to what it might lead to, right? To be honest with you, I'm kind of thinking about it in reference to what it might lead to, right? To be honest with you, that's how I think about it. And even if your brain's not thinking about it that way,

the rest of your body biologically is. And so, but there are times when it would just be a thing that just happens and doesn't lead to anything and that's not what the expectation is because of where we're at or when, I mean, also things like being on a date sometimes, there'll be some making out that happens on a date. Like where? In the car.

Okay, in the car, yes, in privacy. I'm still picturing like- Why does this gotta be PDA? At the date table, that's what I wanted to clarify because that's what I was picturing. I mean, not that I was picturing. My wife would be okay with us making out in like a restaurant because she would,

I would think that she would think that that was like, oh, he's not scared to show his love for me in this place. But I just, you know, it's kind of a McLaughlin thing. We're a little bit sensitive to PDA or PDOA, as my dad says. He puts the O. Public display of affection. Oh, yeah, there's a, thank you for,

you had to tell me the word. He always does the O. PDOA? PDOA. No. No place for PDOA. No one's ever said that. My dad has said it many times.

Really? And so that's what we say whenever we say it, it's like, PDOA? You know what, I hereby resolve to tongue kiss my wife, period. Because you don't care about PDOA, what people think about it. Padoa, padoa.

PDOA, wow, I thought more highly of your father. No, but here's the thing. It's not, I refuse to believe because my dad doesn't have those things that he says that are like- Right, I've never heard him say. The incorrect pronunciation of something. So I choose to just believe that he actually is correct and people just drop the O for illegitimate reasons.

All right, you wanna go back to toothbrushes? But here's the thing. Yes, I will tongue kiss my wife, but that doesn't mean I wanna use her toothbrush because I actually want her to use her toothbrush and me to use my toothbrush before that. Now, that's not a requirement. We don't have to like detox before we have intimacy. But if you're on vacation and you realize

that you forgot your toothbrush. More often than not, we're gonna brush our teeth before there's any like make out. Well, okay, of course, you're married. But if you're on vacation and you realize that like first night, you're like, crap, I forgot my toothbrushes. I know exactly where it's sitting right there on the counter.

What do you do? The front desk will usually give you one. 100%. First of all, I'm not solving the problem right then. I'm going to bed. I'm going to bed without brushing my teeth because I don't think that that's that big of a deal. I would probably swish or I would like,

if I wasn't just going to bed, but if we were, if there was gonna be some making out and let's just say that's it, huh, nothing else. I might use some toothpaste on my finger. That's okay, that's acceptable for sure. I got anything to freshen up. But if there's not gonna be making out, I'm just saying. But I would do that before I use. That's okay, that's acceptable for sure. I got, you know, anything to freshen up. But if there's not gonna be making out, I'm just saying. But I would do that

before I use Christy's toothbrush, even in that scenario. There's many things that I would do before I would use Jessie's toothbrush, and I don't think I've ever used her toothbrush, because I do believe that it is gross, and I do believe that it is grosser than kissing. But if I had to- Because it's a cleaning process. But that wasn't the question.

Is it less gross to borrow your significant other's toothbrush than to borrow a friend's toothbrush? Absolutely yes, less gross. There's nothing to argue about here. But still gross. I think her boyfriend is saying no, they're equally gross. Okay, they're not. Abby, you're right.

But you know what? Some arguments you just, you don't need to win. Is this one of those arguments? Well, no, I think that she won this one. Yeah, we think she won, but I don't know if he's gonna, if she needs to press it to the point. I think there's something going on that she didn't, I think there's something under this question that she did not reveal, which is,

I think that she either has used his toothbrush or is like, he forgot his toothbrush and she was like, just use mine. And he's like, no, that's gross. And then they got into this argument. So whether or not you should use your significant other's toothbrush is a different question than the one that was asked here.

We're just answering the question that was asked and talking about a lot of other stuff. I would not use, I think that I have used Christy's toothbrush, but I think it was an accident. But then I didn't feel horrible about it. Yeah, especially if you get the water real hot. Yeah, when you're done with your toothbrush,

do you really clean it under the hot water afterwards? I really clean it. I do not really clean it under the hot water afterwards? I really clean it, I do not really clean it under the hot water. What do you clean it with? Just the water. Oh, okay. You look at, I look at it and make sure that there's no like white gunk on it.

Well, and the cool thing about, and this, not a sponsor right now, but the Quip black toothbrush, the Bluetooth one, is that you can see any little residue of toothpaste because it's black, and so it makes you clean it even better. Oh. Yeah. What was the last thing that filled you with wonder, that took you away from your desk or your car in traffic? Well, for us, and I'm going to guess for some of you, that thing is...

Ashley Sizemore, is it okay to leave your glass on the counter with the intention to use it again later or do you put it in the dishwasher and get a new glass? Sincerely, the family who disagrees. Wow, this is really, this is so relevant.

Yeah, this is tough. To my own experience because- It's home. I'm on two minds of this because first of all, my family, and I'm gonna say mostly my kids, they use so many cups and glasses so quickly and they just put them in the sink. I mean, they don't even put them in the,

we haven't even gotten our kids to put things in the dishwasher unless we're there and tell them to do it, right? But like, they'll be like, oh, look, there's 12 glasses. We could have guests. And then like the next morning I'll be like, where's our freaking glass? No glasses.

And they're all in the sink upside down dirty when the dishwasher's empty, right? I mean, I- But what I do, because first of all, I'm just like, I'm not going to contribute to the mayhem. So what I do, nine times out of 10, if I use a glass in the kitchen,

take the glass, I drink some water, I immediately wash the glass and put it back on the counter, but put it back on the shelf. That's great. Nine times out of 10. Wow. Now, the additional one time out of 10, especially if it's like a Saturday and I'm like,

I'm gonna come back here. I'll drink it and then I'll put my glass on the counter at a certain place like behind the sink because I'm like, my kids are not gonna, they're not gonna do this. No one's gonna grab, so it's your secret spot where you know you can go back to it. So I will do this.

Yeah, I have a secret spot. I mean, I carry around a water bottle in my own house. So you don't need this. Of course, you don't need glasses. And then we drink a lot of cans, you know, to a fault. But I think there's an answer here in everybody, I think there should be a rack,

kind of like when I was talking about the pill box for every day of the week, I think there needs to be a drying rack that has a spot for each person's cup to be, after they use it, to rinse it and then put it upside down on a drying rack that's compact enough to be hidden somewhere because this is ugly.

You don't want this out on the counter. You want to have behind a cabinet, you just want to have, this is my glass. Every person only has one glass and then that's the only glass they can use and they always know where it is and they're in charge of it. The glasses aren't communal anymore

and there should be a drying rack in private. I hate to break it to you. I've tried a version of this three times and I was the instigator of it and I was the only enforcer of it. We didn't do exactly what you just described, but I told Jesse, I said, these boys use so many glasses,

we need to get glasses that either have their names on them or have like a design on them. And it's like, this is your glass. Or their picture if they don't know their name. And this is your only glass. You don't even have any excuses. Right. Don't remember my name.

It doesn't work. It doesn't work. It doesn't work because what do they do? They use the glass that has their name on it and they put it in the sink. And then when they want something else to drink, they go to another glass. You cannot get them to cooperate. They are impervious to systems.

They have not experienced enough of the consequences of not completing the cycle of a glass. They, if they would, if they washed and put away all the glasses, if they cared about that somehow, or were held accountable to it, you know, when there's stuff in the sink, I have to, I call, I call them back and bring them back in there and I say,

can you put, put this in the dishwasher? You made this mac and cheese at three o'clock in the afternoon or three o'clock in the morning and you left it all here, I need you to move this in here. I need you to complete your task. It doesn't work. It is hopeless. You kind of have a choice to make as a parent.

Am I gonna bring them back into the kitchen to try to teach them a life lesson, or am I gonna just try to keep them alive until they go to college and then they'll figure that shit out on their own. Right. That's kind of where I'm at. But I will say, sometimes I even go into the whole typical dad rant where I'm like,

do you have any idea how many children there are in the world that if I were to bring them a glass with their name on it, like it would be like the best day of their year. Oh gosh. You know what I'm saying? Like the whole things that our parents used to do to us about where the kids starving and stuff. And I'm like, this is a privilege.

We went through the trouble to go to this website to get this cup with your name on it. And this would be a treat to so many children out there. But you're just taking it and treating it like any other glass. It's a personalized glass, and you need to get with the program. Yeah, that doesn't work either, by the way. If you're a young parent and you want to go on one of the rants where you compare your children's plight

with the plight of other children in the world, it doesn't work. No. It doesn't mean you won't try it many times, but it does not work. So Ashley, you're right. It is okay to leave your glass on the counter with the intention to use it again later.

She did not say what her position was. No, she didn't say. She just said it's a family who disagrees. I think what it- You're in charge of the complete cycle of the glass and you can leave it out as long as you ultimately are the one to put it away at the end of the day.

What I wanna say is that you all have to agree on a system, but if my family is any guide for this, they will not agree on a system and this is an intractable problem that will cause strife in your family for many years. Just remove all glasses. Andrew Khan tweeted at us, Nesquik powder or chocolate syrup?

And there were a bunch of food related conflicts and I realized we could get in on these, but there's a whole other podcast produced at Mythical called A Hot Dog is a Sandwich, where Mythical Chef Josh and Nicole, they have every Wednesday, they get into a food debate. Right, and they actually know what they're talking about. Tacos versus burritos, crunchy peanut versus smooth.

I mean, the name of the podcast, The Hot Dog is a Sandwich, is based on a very famous food debate in itself. So we're gonna resist the temptation to infringe on their territory because I love what they're doing over there. If you haven't checked it out, definitely check it out. Start with the most recent one, work your way backwards.

Can I, I agree with that. Can I suggest what I would call a third way? You know, sometimes there's two conflicting opinions. Nesquik powder, chocolate syrup, or what? There's a third way that I'm gonna propose and that is actual chocolate. And here's why I'm gonna say this. I thought you were just gonna say,

you could just buy chocolate milk, which is great by the way. So my- Boy, that's a treat I haven't had in years. My favorite hot chocolate. Actual chocolate? Well, okay, and I'm about to, well, I don't know, you got weird opinions about food.

Because I do have an answer and I think it's one of these two. The best hot chocolate that I've ever had, hands down, is Mike McCarg's wife, Jenny, will do this- Yeah, decadent chocolate. Hot chocolate in a crock pot, right? And it's just-

It's milky. It's so great. And it has made me not like any other hot chocolate. And she briefly described to me what was in it. I didn't listen that intently, but the one thing I did hear was- You didn't wanna make it, you just wanted to drink it. Yeah, the one thing I did hear is that

it's got actual chocolate, I think actual chocolate chips in it. So it literally is composed of melted chocolate and other ingredients, including milk. I don't think any water sees this thing. I think it's milk. Anyway, so I think the third way is actual chocolate and it is the best way.

Well, that's hot. That doesn't answer this question. That's hot chocolate, Rhett. That's not, they're talking about chocolate milk, not hot chocolate. That's true, yep. So none of that matters. That's true, So you know, none of that matters. That's true, yep. I was thinking of a different beverage.

But you can make hot chocolate with these things. I mean, it just goes to show you what heat can do to a beverage, making something totally different. So yeah, the third option is just buying actual chocolate milk. There was this cheap carton of chocolate milk that my mom used to buy and it was so thick as a kid.

Oh, I miss it so much. It was like Borden brand. Well, you know the ones in the glass bottle. The ones in the glass are really good now. Like one time. Looks like the milkman would drop it off, yeah. We were hanging out with Julian Smith and he was like, guys, you gotta have this.

Was that- It was eggnog. It was eggnog, but it was from the same farm. It was from that farm, it's like the so-and-so farm and they do a really good hot chocolate. Last night, I went link Neal old school, of course in high school and in college, every night I would have a spoonful of peanut butter and then I would take the Hershey syrup,

the chocolate syrup here, Andrew, and I would, you know, I'd pour it in and I would dingity dingity dingity ding ding, mix it up. But back, and I did that last night. Oh, it was great. Ironic. I love eating. Is that why you chose this question?

Because you did it last night? It's fresh on my mind. But as a middle schooler and grade schooler, at my Nana's house, she had the Nesquik powder and I would eat that every day. Huge glass of that. You eat it? Yeah, I eat my chocolate milk with a spoon.

Weird. I don't drink it. I eat the peanut butter off the spoon and then I use the spoon to dip. Don't describe it, it just is gonna annoy me. And that's how I eat my smoothie now as a middle-aged man. Every morning I eat my smoothie with a spoon because of this nostalgia.

I gotta say, I think Nesquik powder is my official answer. Yes. Interesting. Even though we have Hershey's syrup at the house, it tells you to keep it in the refrigerator, which drives me nuts. Is this because of taste? Because clearly something that's a syrup is easier to mix than something that's a powder.

It's not easier to mix if your syrup is not room temp or warm. If it's refrigerated and cold, it's harder to mix. It still works, but it doesn't mix as readily as powder, but it tastes different. It's a different taste. It's probably a more manufactured synthetic taste. I'm talking about the powder here,

but I have a nostalgic affinity to that. I'm talking about the powder here, but I have a nostalgic affinity to that. It's closely related to my Kraft American sliced cheese nostalgic affinity. I opened my refrigerator two days ago and there was a stack, like that whole, you know, I hadn't seen this in years. We have not had individually packaged, sliced,

Kraft American cheese in our fridge. Yeah. I mean, over 10 years, it's just not something we have. Right, man, my wife doesn't do it either. I knew it had to do, I didn't even ask. I know it had to, Lily went to the grocery store and bought it and I know it has something to do with TikTok. I didn't even ask.

Oh, it's probably because you throw it on people's, like you throw it on people's forehead like you throw it on people's foreheads and throw it on babies and stuff. She was gonna put it on top of another type of mac and cheese that she's obsessing. But you have seen, you know what I'm talking about. Yes. You take a slice of American cheese

and you throw it on a stranger? Yeah, that's funny, but that's not why she was doing it. I tasted a piece and boy, it's- It's good. It's good but it's not cheese. Well, but speaking of Josh on this, Mythical Chef Josh has very strong opinions about American cheese and I agree with him.

You know, he's not a food snob at all. And you know what Lily's talking about using it for? Putting it on top of mac and cheese. Mm-hmm. Which by the way. She didn't like it by the by the way. She did not like it. She didn't like it with the way she used it?

She didn't like the taste, she didn't like the experience. And then we got- Did she put it on, we got Lincoln to try a piece and he didn't seem like he liked it. Because she made mac and cheese, because recently I smoked that pork shoulder and had you guys over for it. Yeah. And Lily brought

the mac and cheese. And Lily brought the mac and cheese. And I thought the mac and cheese was really good, but you're saying it didn't have the slices on it. She was making a cup of mac and cheese, like the instant cup of mac and cheese. And then I think draping a slice over top of that is if it needed more cheese. It always needs more cheese.

All right, so are you going with syrup or powder on this? I don't have a strong opinion. I'm going with, I interpret this as hot chocolate and go with real chocolate. From Paradai, Mythicanoi, how to pronounce pigeons. I say it's pigeon, but my girlfriend thinks it's pigeons. We Googled it and I think it says pigeons only,

but she insists that they are wrong. Pee-gians. Well, I think I'm gonna say, what I'm going with here, I'm gonna just remove the P part. And I think this is a common mistake that people make when there is a common mistake that people make when there is a E-O or I-O in a word. So you think that it looks like there's two syllables

in the second half of pigeon. I think that's what's up for debate here. Pigeon. Pigeon. That's what she's saying. Is pigeon like a shortening of the actual word? Pigeon. When you look at this, you see right here,

it's very clearly a two syllable word, pigeon. Pigeon, pigeon is the correct pronunciation. Now- P-I-J upside down E-N. I could have consulted, I think I may have at some point, whether it's Good Mythical More or this podcast, I may have already relayed this information, but my son Shepard had this pigeon thing that happened last year.

And I don't mean like an incident with a pigeon. What I mean is that- I vaguely remember this. He started at a new school, right? And at some point he communicated to the class and to his teacher that he liked pigeons. Now, let me be clear, we didn't know that he liked pigeons. He had never talked about pigeons before to us.

I'm not saying he didn't like pigeons, just saying it didn't seem like it was really that big of a thing, but when he- It's not something you have to declare. When he went out- Family meeting, please. When he went out on this pigeon limb- I got something I need to tell you all.

He went out on this pigeon limb- I got something I need to tell you all. He went out on this pigeon limb and I think he saw that pigeons could kind of be his thing and that he was getting a response from his classmates and his teachers and they were like, this is kind of funny that this kid's into pigeons. Like he drew, they had this one thing where you drew yourself as an animal

and he drew himself as a pigeon. Oh, I remember this. It was beautiful. And then the theme of the entire year last year, or their school year, and I'm talking like the 2019, 2020, so we were talking like fall 2019, was micronations, right? And so the whole idea was that you were gonna get

into a group with some other students and you were going to create a fake, a sort of fictional nation. And as you learn about like the way economies work and the way resources work and in a nation, you're going to sort of create a story around a fake nation and present it to the rest of the class as a way of embodying these real things that exist

in the world, but doing it in a fun fictitious way, right? Which we did with Cheez-A-Stan. Exactly, so interestingly, there was another person in Shepherd's group that also had strong opinions and it became a little bit of a point of contention when Shepherd suggested that the name of their micronation be called Paloma, which is pigeon in Spanish.

Good name. And that the thing that was true about Paloma was the fact that it is just a nation of pigeons. Long story short, Shepherd won this argument and Paloma ended up being a nation of pigeons. Long story short, Shepard won this argument and Paloma ended up being a nation of pigeons and it kind of became, again, I ended up asking Shepard about this and I was like, Shepard, explain the pigeon thing to me

and like how it happened and he was like, because I was like, I don't remember you saying that you really liked pigeons before this. And he was like, well, to be honest with you, I said that it's not that I don't like pigeons, but I said that I liked pigeons and everyone started reacting to it. So I just kind of leaned into it.

So much so that this past year when he started the new school year, and of course this new school year was very different for the kids because they weren't in it for very long because of COVID. His teacher, we had like a Zoom conference with his teacher and she was like, you know, we love it when Shepherd, you know, he doesn't always participate,

but when he does participate, we love it when he participates and he's funny and he tells funny stories. And also I would love to talk to him about his love for pigeons. And then she holds up a mug that says something about pigeons on the mug. And I'm like, did this woman get this mug

or does she just have an affinity for pigeons? Probably. But like now that he has made this pigeon sort of thing about himself, it's part of him now. It's a brand. You have to kind of keep carrying it on. So I wasn't gonna break it to her that, you know, the pigeon thing was just something he kind of pulled out of his butt and then leaned into.

But she loves pigeons. Well, she wanted to connect with him about pigeons. I was like, yeah, he'll love that. I don't know what I said. Like pranking the teacher. I mean, this is- Well, it's not much of a prank because I mean- It's my kind of prank.

It's a very long prank. I love it. Like again, he's not much of a prank because I mean- It's my kind of prank. It's a very long prank. I love it. Like again, I think he's actually gotten more into pigeons as a result of this. Self-fulfilling prophecy, yeah. But I can just say- It's fair to say he kind of got carried away. Yes.

You know, that was like trying to be a carrier pigeon pun, but it was a little weak. As a father of a self-described pigeon lover, I can say pigeon is the correct pronunciation. Pigeon. It's not pigeon. Pigeon, Paloma is a place in California. Oh, we can go visit. Where is it? How far away is it?

It is just southeast of Sacramento, California. I was watching the Family Feud. Just like right in the middle of the state. I was watching the Family Feud the other day, which I love watching it. Okay. And the question was, name a city or like,

it was like, name a city that you would like to go on vacation to. Anywhere in the world, right? Okay. And it was like, okay, so number one answer was? Hawaii. Oh. Interestingly, one of the guys said the Caribbean,

which is also not a city. I should be on Family Feud, huh? Yeah, you would be a great contestant. You're a YouTube highlight waiting to happen. I listen, I wanna be on Family Feud. I seriously wanna be on Family Feud. Cities, titties tough. Titties or cities, you gotta be clear.

They're both tough. I mean, it's like once you say those words, it's like I get bummed. What city? What's a city? And what's a titty? What do you think is the number one answer? Greece. Athens.

You've got two X's. Paris. Oh, Paris, that's a city. You know, like Paris, London. I've been there. You know, Paris, London. I've been there. You know, Rome. Oh Rome, not Athens. New York City.

Okay. So you know, those kinds of cities. But like. Los Angeles. They were, I don't think Los Angeles was on there actually. No, maybe it was. Paloma. But it got down to this family had two strikes

and like Steve Harvey is asking this woman, it's like, okay, you know, the other family's gonna have an opportunity to steal if you don't get this. Name a city that people would like to vacation in and she's like, Sacramento. Sacramento. I mean, it's just like, okay. But Steve didn't have as much fun. He's just like, okay. But Steve didn't have as much fun.

He just was like, Sacramento. Okay. Sacramento. He made a, of course it wasn't up there. But he made the choice to not lean in and make fun of her too much like he does a lot. Well, yeah, it's not a four hour show. Yeah.

If he did that for every dumb answer, then you know what would happen. Ryker tweeted at us, I wanna get a motorcycle. My wife thinks it's too unsafe. I work in a funeral home. Trust me, people die every day from all manner of things. Mortality is a bitch. God, this took an aggressive turn.

What should I do? Stay in bed wearing a helmet? I wanna be alive, not just live. Wow. Hmm, Riker. Riker with a Y. I mean, the name really seems, it adds up with the motorcyclist. You know, if you've got a Y in your first name,

I think you're much more likely to be a motorcyclist. I agree with that. I think you're living on the edge. I think you're willing to take more risk because there are more risks. And this is a real conversation that happens a lot with people wanting that motorcycle. A lot. A lot.

Well, I have a- I got two for, go ahead. I didn't mean to cut you off. An analogy here because I don't wanna ride a motorcycle. I don't wanna own a motorcycle. I'm too sensitive to like falling down, not just dying, but I know that most people who own motorcycles are like, how many times have you laid this thing down?

Like it happens, it ends up happening, you don't always die. But like, I'm just in a place in my life right now where those kinds of inconveniencing injuries, let alone death, it's not something I wanna entertain. But what I've said for years is that I've been very interested in ultralight flying, right? We talked about this before. And then there's many times where I've been very interested in ultralight flying. Right, we talked about this before. And then there's many times where I've thought to myself,

like, I should get my pilot's license. I should fly a little plane, right? Anytime I bring this up with my wife, she's like, no. Now, she was in a plane crash. That makes a difference. She was too young to remember it, but it did happen. When she was less than one year old, her parents were in a small plane

that clipped a power line and crashed, and no one was seriously injured. But anyway, it's like there's sort of this lore in her family, and first of all, how often do you hear about somebody dying in a small plane? It seems like it's pretty often, right? So, but I, and so I've kind of dropped this.

I've kind of been like, all right, I'm not gonna push this. But for me, the only way to, cause I know that it is more dangerous. Like me not getting a pilot's license, me not ultralight flying is a safer long-term life choice than me deciding to do it, right? But we don't just, like Riker said,

we don't just avoid all risk, right? What do I do, stay in bed wearing a helmet? He wants to be alive, not just live. So to me, this is an individual, because I'm being serious about this. I'm not trying to make a joke about this. This is a thing that lots of people argue about. And it isn't just always, well,

the husband wants to do something dangerous and the wife wants to keep him from it. That happens a lot of times, but I'm just saying in any relationship, there might be something that you want to do that there is inherent risk in it. And we know that it is riskier, significantly riskier to ride a motorcycle than to be in a car.

27 times as likely to die in a motorcycle crash than a car crash, right? Because for obvious reasons, you're riding on top of the vehicle, you're not inside the vehicle. And that's according to the National Highway Traffic and Safety Administration. Oh, we're familiar with them.

We've made videos for them. Yeah, 27 times more likely to die. So, but how do you evaluate this, right? Because- Than in a car. What if Riker's number one passion in life is to ride a motorcycle? Now, if this is something that developed

after they got married and now you, you know what, you have to take into account the fact that your wife doesn't want you to do this. Now, if you were like a motorcycle guy, it's part of your identity, you're super into it before you got married, when you get into a relationship, that I think, feel like that's a different conversation because it's like, you married this person, you got into this relationship knowing that this is

a passion of theirs. Changing them. You're gonna have to live with that risk. That's a complicating factor. It does change the complexion of the conversation. But let's just assume this is happening after the relationship. Well, I don't even know that you have to be prepared.

I still think it's probably a decision for the two of you, but you know. Yeah, you still gotta come to a decision, but it is different if it was a preexisting condition. It is. Motorcycle love. We know two people, Mike and Nick, who had motorcycles and then, well, Mike was in more of an accident

than I think Nick was, but like when Nick started having children, it was like there was a negotiation or discussions that led to him getting rid of his motorcycle. Yeah, right. I mean, there's a lot of technique and skill and it's a demanding hobby, you know, to be really good at it and to be defensive in your driving

and to be aware of everything because it's like, there's so much constant risk. And there's certainly parameters, I don't know what they are, but I would think there are parameters that would make it more safe. Like I'm kind of guessing here, so I'm talking out of school,

but when you're like motorcyclists traveling in groups, you know, it's like, if you've got a buddy, you're more likely to, I mean, there are things you can do to mitigate your risk. I think that might be one of them. You know, you're more visible in a group. You wear an orange shirt, wear a bright helmet. I'm saying join a motorcycle gang.

Okay, well, okay. Yeah, and probably wear like really bright colors. So you're saying that- Just like a clown. The approach to the motorcycling, if you're a motorcycle stunt person, if you're like, well, I'm gonna be a TikTok or an Instagram motorcycle person,

and I'm gonna do like wheelies down the middle of the interstate without a helmet in a bikini, then that's problematic on a number of levels. I agree with that, but I feel like the factors are- If you really, I guess what I'm getting at is if you really care about it, if I'm Riker, I might can do a bunch of research to then bring that stat of 27 times more likely

to die than in a car. I might can bring that stat down with classes. There's certain stipulations. Okay, you can minimize your risk. So you might can minimize it. But you're still gonna be more responsible. But I think that I'm trying to use the motorcycle thing as something that represents anything

that a partner wants to do that's higher risk, whether it's small planes or anything. Even me for mountain biking, like I've come home a few times and we've gone off on new trails and I did tell Christy and I was like, I don't know why I'm telling her this, but I said, you know, I was on this trail that if I would have fallen off my bike the wrong way,

I think I would have died. And- That's not a good thing to tell your wife. And I don't think I'm gonna go on that trail again. And I'm pretty cautious, you know? So like when I get to those places, I try, like sometimes I'll walk my bike. So I don't, I'm increasingly more risk averse,

but it is a risky thing on some of these single trials. So let's assume, just to kind of arrive at some conclusion for Riker, that this is a passion that developed after the relationship started. So we're doing away from that factor. And let's assume that if Riker decides to do this, he's going to do it in a safe as a way as he can, right? He's gonna be a safe and responsible motorcyclist.

Still riskier than not deciding to be a motorcyclist and to ride in a car, right? To me, the factors at play are, I think he has a point in terms of, well, this is something I want to do and I recognize that it's risky and I'm gonna die at some point. Okay, there's a point there. But I think that it's like,

how resistant is your wife to this? And then how passionate are you about, is this like, you've determined that this is something that you have to have in order to live a full life? Because I do believe there might be some people who would say that. It's like, if I don't get to go skydiving, if I don't get to do this thing,

if I don't get to be a rock climber, then I'm not fulfilling my passion. And I think that every couple has to answer this because it might get to a point where it's just like, this is a risky thing, you might die, but I can tell that you're committed to this. Again, it might be the kind of thing like this whole ultralight flying thing,

when my kids finally leave or on their own, and I really have a midlife crisis, not just like a little bit of one like I've been having, but like a real one. And I'm like, baby, either I get a convertible or I start flying planes. It's one or the other. You know what I'm saying?

Like, I think at some point- Could get both. Depending on your life stage, are you still, how old are you? You still got kids who are depending on you as a father? You know, I think there's a lot of different factors that go into this. I just don't think there's a straight answer to this.

Yeah, but I think if you really care about it and it's a negotiation and you might have to go so far as to say, well, okay, if the worst happens, have I really looked at the risk and taken it into account? Meaning I'm getting a life insurance policy. And by the way, you have to tell them that you got a motorcycle and they're gonna charge you that much more.

So like there's this kind of this arbitration thing. It's like, if you're not willing to do what it takes to take care of your family, to accommodate for that risk, then maybe you're not as committed as you need to be to do it. Cause you say, if I am in a motorcycle crash, you'll get rich. How's that sound?

Well, I'm gonna take care, I'm gonna take out a policy that's gonna make sure you're taken care of. So I'm not just like leaving you in a lurch because I had to not just live, but be alive. And in the end. It's a negotiation. Regardless of your intentions, regardless of how safe you are. how much do you care about it?

Regardless of how safe you are, How much are you willing to sacrifice for the risk? Regardless of all the insurance that you have in place, if your partner still says, I'm not comfortable with this, I think part of being in a relationship is to be like, okay, I'm gonna give up on this. That you can find something.

Hey, what about one of those three wheeled bikes? Just start adding wheels and see if that helps. A spider? Yeah. I mean, you're adding a wheel and a lot of embarrassment. That's what the spider market is all about. You just unlocked it in my mind. Yes, yes.

It's men who wanted a motorcycle whose wives were not comfortable with it. Yeah. So they got one of those three wheelers. That's what it is. Yeah, and then you know what? Maybe you need a fourth wheel. I don't know. Then you just got a car.

Well, that's your problem. I think you're going in the wrong direction. Once you get to three wheels, then you negotiate down to two. Oh, you're talking about like a literal three wheel motorcycle. I'm talking about those spiders that have the two wheels in the front.

Yeah, I'm talking about that. Because there's a three wheel motorcycle too that has two wheels in the back. Which I think those are more dangerous than a regular motorcycle. Well, you gotta get your facts straight. This is not my negotiation. I mean, but is this the type of thing that like,

I mean, if you know, we're not willing to go in this business, but there's somebody out there who can be more of an arbitration expert for decisions like this. Like I wonder if there's someone on the premises of the motorcycle dealership that steps in for arbitration in couples.

No. To help sell the bike. No. There's a lot of psychology there. I'd like to talk to a motorcycle salesman. The motorcycle salesman is only equipping the person trying to buy the motorcycle with arguments that then go home and tell your wife.

Yeah. That's it, exclusively. So Riker, you might wanna do that too. Go to your local dealer and say, "'Hey, listen, you gotta give me a pamphlet.'" They probably have a pamphlet. They got a pamphlet. If you wanna sell something to a motorcycle salesman,

it's a pamphlet that they just give to people who wanna buy motorcycles. Opossum Queen. Hey, be safe out there, Riker. Yeah, whatever you decide. Wear an orange helmet. Opossum Queen. At work, I drive a truck that is shared between shifts.

I am one of the shorter people and a lot of people complain about my seat position when they drive after me. Should we be adjusting our seat for the next person or just adjust it for yourself at the beginning of the shift? Okay, I mean, as a six, seven man with a five foot three wife who share a car,

this is a very relevant question to us. And you got a fancier car, so how does it actually work in your car? She's number one and I'm number two. Yeah. So if you hit number one, it becomes Jessie's, everything goes to her position. But where is it when you get in?

It's wherever it was the last time somebody got out. Really? Well then, okay, you're not quite as fancy as you need to be. This isn't a competition, but my car, here's what it does. When I turn off the car and then I open the door, the seat goes all the way back. So no matter who you are or how short or tall or how forward it was, it goes all the way back

and then it's easy for everybody to get out. And then the next person to get in, it's all the way back. And then it goes forward to that position. Yes, is that what it does? I think technically if I really wanted to do this- it goes forward to that position. Yes, is that what it does? I think technically, if I really wanted to do this- And I think the answer's in there. Is that my key and her key tell the car who's getting in the car,

but we lost one of the keys because we're the McLaughlins. Oh, that's advanced. So there's just one key to the car and it's hers. I'm not talking about my daily driver, I'm talking about like the family car that she drives, but I drive occasionally. And because it's just the button. But if it's in her position,

Can I get in? You can't even get in, right? I would break a femur trying to get in. Like when Lily, I drove Lily's car, the old Scion, I had to drive it in because I forgot to charge my car. And if Lily drove right before me, she sits so much closer. Yeah, I can't get in. Lincoln can't get in the driver's seat. But it's so obvious when I opened the door.

Like, it's not like I would ever make the mistake of trying to get in. You almost like reach down there. If you told me for $100,000 sit in this seat. Couldn't do it. Couldn't do it. There could be like a challenge on Survivor and I would lose. So I immediately can tell that this is not made for me

and so I just hit the number two and wait. Even when the car's not on, it still works. Yeah. Huh. So I wonder if Opossum Queen's truck, it seems like- I'm assuming this is not automatic situation. Queen, you need to move that seat back. Listen, if you're one of the shorter people and you're receiving complaints about seat position,

hey, I mean, I think you should move your seat back. And I think it should move your seat back and I think it would also make it, it's not difficult for you to get out, but it will make it that much easier. So it's like a win-win. You slam the seat all the way back, you have even more room to just dash out of that thing and you're being considerate to the next person,

your coworker. This is a coworker. You're saying that this is something that only applies to the short people because what you're saying is a little discriminatory because the tall people, they just get in and get out and they don't have to do anything because you're saying that everyone from short to tall

is accommodated in the getting in and out of the car process if the seat is back. Yeah. And then if you're a short person, you bring it up while driving and then you take it down. I think the shorter people have to defer to the taller people in this one, especially in a work environment.

I mean, if this is just your family car, screw them. They don't put their cups away anyway. So don't put your seat back. Give them a little jab. But this is an easy way for you to not get demerits on the job. I don't know if I, I understand the logic of what you're saying.

And I understand why it doesn't apply to the tall people because it's not like the tall person can be like, you know what, a short person might get in this car after me, I'm gonna put the seat up before I get out. First of all, it's impossible to put the seat up before you get out if you're tall. Right, right. You have to get out of the truck and then like manipulate the seat

from the ground. Yeah. So the short person does have the ability to move the seat up and back. I do think just because of the way physics work, this is, the short people are gonna get the short end of the stick in this situation. And, because when I tried to get in Lily's car, I did notice that I would sit in and then reach down

and adjust the seat back, but it's very difficult for me to get in the car. Some of the most uncomfortable moments of your life. But I did that instead of bending all the way over to reach under the seat and push it back because then you got like a back injury, you know? I mean, again, it's like, you gotta calculate our risk in everything at our age.

Opossum Queen, take one for the team. Sorry, girl. I think there's one more that I don't even think requires any discussion. We can just softball, set it up, knock it out of the park from- Hit me. Rebellious Mary. My boyfriend thinks the blinds closes slats down when they clearly should be closed slats up.

The light comes through still when he closes them down. That's not enough evidence for him. He thinks closing them down will prevent peepers. What do y'all think? Mary. I'm with her. Mary, you're right. I mean, this is so simple. Blinds go up. Peepers still can't see in and it blocks the light

from shining through that little slit onto the floor. Well, case in point, just yesterday, I'm on a Zoom call and I'm facing a window and my office in the creative house faces the window. And I don't know if it was me or somebody else, they closed them slats down and it was sunny and there were these lines all over my desk and my face. And so I immediately turned them slats up

and it was this nice, even light. And no, you can't see through it. If there may be- Is there any advantage to slats down? It looks nicer. It looks smoother. To be down? For them to be down.

That's the only thing I can come up with the why it's like, it seems like it's, it seems like that's the right way to do it because it makes it smooth. It's like scales on the back of a snake. It's kind of like rubbing a cat the wrong direction when you turn those blinds up. It's a little unsettling to me.

You've complicated it now. But I believe that it's right, functionally. Functionally, I cannot think of any other reason to have them go the other way except for the scales of a snake. Well, all I gotta say is your boyfriend stated reason is he thinks that this will prevent peepers and it's just not true. They can't see through either way. You can't prevent peepers and it's just not true.

They can't see through it. You can't prevent peepers. Peepers gonna peep. Yeah, the peeper's still outside the window regardless of how you've got the blinds. We should give a heads up. We're releasing a special episode of Ear Biscuits this coming Thursday.

If you're listening to this one fresh on Monday, then just a few days later, we got a special extra, I'm gonna call it a mini episode. I don't think it's gonna be as long as a typical one. It's part of the Dell Podference. So we're gonna be talking about how we weathered COVID from a business standpoint. So don't be alarmed when there's an entirely extra

mini ear biscuit later this week. Just wanna give you that heads up. And I'll close with a rec here. I'm choosing this rec because I believe that it is, it could be a point of contention. And that is, if you are a, just I'll start with, if you are a blue cheese lover'll start with, if you are a blue cheese lover or you are blue cheese tolerant,

some people don't like the taste of blue cheese, I can't, this is not gonna be helpful for you. Okay, I'm checking out then. Go online, find the recipe for blue cheese coleslaw. There's one on Food Network that's good. My wife, when I was talking earlier about the, having you guys over for the pork shoulder that I, I smoked this pork shoulder for 17 hours, okay?

It was like 23 pounds. I ate it over the course of like 14 minutes. My wife was like, of course, we gotta make slaw for this thing because we're doing it North Carolina style. And she was like, of course, we gotta make slaw for this thing because we're doing it North Carolina style. And she was like, what do you think if I made a blue cheese slaw? I was like, first of all, I love this idea.

Second of all, you can't just make a blue cheese slaw. You have to make a regular slaw for people who don't like blue cheese. But I love this idea. And she made it. And for me, as a blue cheese lover, it was revolutionary. It has changed the way I think about slaw. I was not a slaw person.

I put slaw on my barbecue almost out of obligation because I'm from North Carolina, to be honest with you. It isn't like I like it. It's kind of like, yeah, this is what you do. Try the blue cheese slaw. And again, if you're a blue cheese lover or if you're just blue cheese tolerant, if you're the kind of person that if there's blue cheese

in something, it throws everything off for you, don't try it, you're not gonna like it. But I'm just gonna tell you right now, try it before you knock it. I like it. Blue cheese slaw. Okay. Hashtag your biscuits.

Again, we'll see you for a special one on Thursday and then a normal one like every other Monday.
